Now that there is no startup sound, how do I know when to press a startup key combination?
Please?
So far 5 failed attempts to restart in safe mood on a 2019 iMac.

What key combination? Safe Mode only requires that you hold the Shift key immediately after pushing the power button.

To start up in safe mode:
To leave safe mode, restart your Mac without pressing any keys during startup.

This is what works for me. Restart your iMac. When you see the screen go black, wait until you see the backlight illuminate the screen (not full illumination, just the backlight), then hold down the Shift key. Keep holding it down until you see the progress bar get about half way across, then release the Shift key. Wait until it finishes starting up. Look at the upper right of the screen. It should say "Safe Boot" in red letters. Maybe this will work for you.
Restart and immediately press and hold the shift key until you see the apple logo https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262
Apologize if funny question. Is your iMac plugged into reliable power source, like UPS or uninterupted power supply, and the UPS is plugged into building outlets, with no wiring issues?
Define "immediately". I have been trying, no success so far.
Immediately means as soon as you push the power button, the press the buttons. Should take less than 2 seconds to do this assuming you don't have any physical impairments.
Try plugging the charging cable into the keyboard first. Helps with my iMac Pro.
